Convict sets woman on fire while riding a Chicago train

CHICAGO — Here’s further proof President Donald Trump did the right thing by deploying the National Guard to Chicago. Lawrence Reed, 50, was thrown in the slammer after he set 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on fire while riding the city’s Blue Line train. The cowardly act of arson 🔥 transpired around 9:30 p.m. Monday night. Lawrence — who’s black — and Bethany were reportedly squabbling about something trivial when he doused her with a flammable liquid and set her ablaze. Then he and the other passengers stood and watched as MaGee’s body was engulfed in flames. Nobody helped her. “Burn bitch!” Lawrence yelled. “Burn alive, bitch!” As soon as the train stopped, Lawrence fled like a lil bitch. Bethany stumbled out the exit and onto the concourse before collapsing. The Shish kabobbed damsel was transported to Stroger Hospital with severe burns. “I just saw a lady that was lying on the ground, and they were trying to give her CPR,” an eyewitness recounted.

And she looked like she was in an awful lot of pain.”

Lawrence was later arrested and charged with committing a terrorist attack on a mass transit system.

Social media reaction was off the chain. One commenter wrote, “President Trump has already sent the National Guard to Chicago. He should probably deploy the Marines too.” Another chimed in with, “Time to ban lighter fluid.” A third person added, “But, of course, Democrats and the media will somehow make him the victim, pay his attorney fees and set him up with a GoFundMe page.”

What’s my take?

Splashing gasoline on a female and flicking a lighter is a pussy move of epic proportions.

That’s why women must eschew having contretemps with modern men.

Too many of ’em are emotional bitches who will maltreat you at every opportunity.

Sadly, running afoul of the law is nothin’ new to Lawrence.

The convicted felon had 22 prior arrests, and he pleaded guilty to arson in 2020 — receiving a measly two years of mental health probation.

Lawrence, who’s also homeless, was donning an ankle monitor during the attack.

“This would never have happened if this thug had been behind bars,” said Transport Secretary Sean Duffy.

“Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the streets. Chicago’s carelessness is putting the American people at risk. No one should ever have to fear for their life on the subway.”

Passenger Matt Cermak echoed a homogeneous sentiment.

“Everybody is struggling with the CTA and the safety levels,” he said.

“The city needs to get very focused on the CTA, on crime prevention. These incidents seem to be happening too often.”

Bethany, a churchgoer who graduated from Purdue University, suffered third-degree burns to 60 percent of her body.

She’s alive, but maimed nonetheless.

Many residents want Mayor Brandon Johnson recalled (à la Frank White).

Is it time to start a petition?

Watch Mayor Johnson confabulate CTA safety changes.

  1. I’m sick and tired of people excusing pure evil as a “mental health crisis”

  2. Jesus guys just start putting them down. Hell even after 3 strikes it should be considered.

  3. Don’t understand how he had all these prior charges yet because he’s got a “mental illness” they send him to places other than jail and he gets let out

  4. Judges need to be held accountable or street justice is about to be the law of the land… the judicial system has collapsed, time for accountability!

  5. 6 battery charges and 14 criminal charges in less than 8 years? Yeah… Lets just let him roam free, great work again Chicago.

  6. Now how many judges let him out? How many times?

    They’re the ones responsible

  7. Every judge who let this clown walk free knowing his history and knowing that he was mentally unstable should be sued , disbarred and criminally charged with endangering the public.

  8. Throw his ass in jail then he won’t be homeless wtf. He lit a building on fire before this…..

  9. UPDATE: The mayor and governor are demanding his release, and inviting him to a lavish dinner. Citing RAYYYCISM

  10. We hear about Emmit Till for a Hundred Years, but the names of these White Women murdered by Blacks don’t even make the news

  11. And the monsters who stood there on the train and didn’t try to help the woman ON FIRE? They deserve exposure and some blame here, too.

  12. Isn’t it wild y’all how states just cannot find the money to keep people like this dude locked up in mental facilities so the public can be sade, but they found hundreds of millions of dollars to support illegal immigrants, migrants, or whatever they’re called currently?

  13. In a red county he would not have been released that many times these cities Chicago Cleveland Philly are fuckin up and need to stop the bullshit lock em up

  14. AGAIN White woman new victim of black man who judges and politicians gave multiple opportunities. Bystanders y’all suck. Message politicians sending White leave Chicago or die. National guard needed. If whites attack brutally a black in same way there would be riots.

  15. The left hate us. They despise us. They disrespect us. And they LOVE guys like this.

  16. Black guy attacks white girl AGAIN. How many crimes like this does it take until white people realise that there is no peaceful living toghether with these creatures?

  17. This is outrageous!!!!! If this was a white man and a black woman the city would have literally been on fire!!!! Ridiculous double standards!!!!!!! Look how many innocent white women are killed by deranged black men and they walk away with minimal sentences! This is racism!!!!!

  18. What has White Culture gained from inclusion from the a black Community? What can Whites do to stop the continued racial attack from the Black community?

  19. People just standing watching. Honestly what is actually wrong with some people

  20. Again, we thank the dysfunctional criminal justice system, where another innocent person is violently killed by a savage, horrible, & sorry excuse for a human being. First, the violent murder in North Carolina on a commuter train of a Ukrainian immigrant woman by a crazed, unhinged psychopath, now this. The family of the victim should sue the pants off of Chicago’s justice system, and the city itself.

    Let’s face it, we are never safe taking public transportation.

  21. No men did anything to stop the guy as he walked up to her with the flame. Then they did nothing to put out the flames. Cowards.

    To say nothing of the criminal justice system in Chicago that let this psychopath go. Again, and again, and again. When it was obvious how dangerous he was.

    But ICE doing their jobs is the big danger in Chicago, huh?

  22. Guess she was racist to him…that’s why he did this…(YES sarcastic) of this would have been switched colors omg what a crime of hate…
    This poor Woman…

  23. Someone should accidentally spill some gasoline in his cell and inadvertently ignite it.

  24. There is something seriously wrong with the legal system in this country. The girl in NYC, then Charlotte, and now Chicago?

    You literally gotta conceal carry nowadays.

  25. Notice that once again others were on the train and did NOTHING to prevent this tragedy.
    Pioneer justice was simple, quick and final. And the criminal would never hurt another innocent person again.
    And back then, you didn’t have to wait for the police – REAL MEN stepped in immediately to subdue the attacker.

  26. Sooo…when are y’all white people gonna start burning shit down????
